Update 0.3 - Important changes

Update 0.3

Alright, first of all I'd like to apologise for the long wait. It has been quite a messy months for me. I had to renovate my house and help my brother move in with me, and I've been dealing with some more other personal stuff as well.

I also had a problem with the program I was using and was getting very stressed out about it, so I decided to change to another, and then my PC decided to stop working for a week, I got it fixed, but then it stopped working again two days after for a completely different reason for a month (don't you just love technology?).  And then, because clearly all of this wasn't enough, I injured my shoulder and there are certain movements I can't do without it being pretty painful.

So yeah, these past few months have been interesting. Plus the heat hasn't helped at all.

Now, in regards of the game, there has been very huge changes so I'm going to start with the biggest one. As I mentioned before, I had a problem with the program I was using that made me decide to change it. I was using Renpy, now I'm using Twine, which means that I got rid of everything visual, making this project not a visual novel anymore, but an interactive story. The good thing about this is that  it makes it easier for me to build up the story since I can focus only on the writing part and I can forget about sprites, CGs and especially backgrounds.

Now, I do want to make it a visual novel, but that will have to wait for the future when I finish writing the first draft. And hopefully when that time comes I'll be able to make the backgrounds myself so I won't have to rely on anyone else. This also gives me the opportinuty to make the ROs gender customisable, which was my idea from the start, and idea I discarded due to the amount of work I would have with the sprites and the CGs.

I've also added a few things to compensate for the lack of visual assets. First I've written a prologue to show how the main character met the rest of the group and to expand a bit their backstory. This prologue comes with a better customization of the main character where you can choose their height, complexion, etc. And I've also rewritten some parts of the first and second chapters, plus a complete new one about a page of an unknown diary.

Another feature I included is a codex where all the information about characters, places and valuable objects will be stored. And now you can check your relationship with the main group there as well!

TL:DR The summary is:

1. New content

• Prologue
• Better customization for the main character
• Gender customisable ROs
• Codex
• Unknown diary
• New scenes for chapter 1
• New scenes for chapter 2
• New music
• Achievements

2. Visual aspect

• Deleted every visual aspects like sprites, CGs and backgrounds

3. Bug fixes and changes

• Changed the format from Renpy to Twine
• Fixed a bug in the second chapter that made the game not recognise the main character's belief

Thank you for your patience! I will be working on the third chapter now. Here, enjoy a drawing of lovely Enid while you wait.
